ICGSE 2018 - 2018 13th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Global Software Engineering

We invite research paper submissions of novel work in the broad area of global software engineering (GSE). Papers might describe empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, technical solutions, or educational studies and experiences. Empirical studies are welcome to report empirical evidence ranging from controlled experiments to case studies and from quantitative to qualitative studies, including those that use mixed-methods.
Areas of Interest
We are especially interested in eliciting experiences with organizing, setting up, kicking-off, managing, working in, evaluating, improving, and terminating Large-scale distributed projects, Distributed Lean and Agile projects, and Virtual teams.
